Reversing a String | Dataford Interview Questions

Can you write a function that reverses a string in your preferred programming language?

Implement reverse_string(s), which accepts a string and returns the characters in reverse order. Preserve spaces, punctuation, capitalization, and repeated characters. The input string is immutable, so use a mutable character sequence or another suitable technique.

Input and Output

Output: a new string containing the characters of s in reverse order.

The function must also handle empty strings and one-character strings.

Constraints

0 <= len(s) <= 1000
s may contain letters, digits, spaces, punctuation, and Unicode characters
Return a string and do not modify the caller's original string
